I don't see anything topping it. I haven't heard Cocaine Piñata yet though...I was really looking forward to that too...but it's gonna be at least a month of Infamous era Mobb leftovers, and nothing else.

It's hard to dispute if Prodigy wasn't one of the illest lyricist of the 90s. It's just too many examples to give nikkas....
The verse on The Bridge is one of most complete verses he has ever wrote..and it was probably a throw-away

P was a great MC but he wasn't even close to the best lyricist

I really, really like Hav's extra verses on Survival Of The Fittest. It's funny though, for some reason Hav's verse stands out more on that beat.
How have I not heard this version yet?!
Yeah man, I just saw this on the Wu forum.

Yeah, and I really super love P's last verse on there at the very end. When he and Hav throw down that little back and forth at the end it's really dope.

I was bumpin those earlier
I'll always remember this from the advance version of Murda Muzik. I hate they took it off.
I never heard these before. I'm guessing these were "tape" era Clue exclusives? Anybody who's got any other "rare" Mobb demos or alternate versions should post them in this thread. Error on the side of assuming it's more rare than you think.
Pile Raps!
P's part of that is amazing.
He was top 5. 10 if you want to push it. That's close enough.
As a lyricist? Let's say his prime was 1995-1998, which of these MCS was he better than lyrically?
Jay, Nas, Biggie, AZ, Redman, Rakim, G Rap, GZA, Ras Kass, Big Punisher, Canibus, Common, Posdonus, Black Thought, Big L, I can keep going
Again, Prodigy was a great Mc (he was a better MC than half that list) but I'm talking straight lyrical ability...
